They have chosen one big and four small in the design of the ticket, which symbolizes the five-star red flag. The five stars also symbolize the unity of the people of all ethnic groups under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. There is also a clever design. A number “1” is attached to the flagpole, which symbolizes the 1st anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. At the same time, the five stamps have different face values.
